eight-year-old has been signed
to play for Barnsley FC’s undernines next season. Proud mum
Claire Roper, 27, of Neville
Avenue, Kendray, said: “He’s
been playing at Barnsley since

he was five, and he’s been playing football since he was three.
He’s a Manchester United fan,
but a Barnsley fan as well, so
he’s really excited.” The
Hunningley Primary pupil has
also played for Redfearns and

DICKIE Bird received his
OBE from Prince Charles
at Buckingham Palace on
May 15.
The retired umpire, 79,
told the Chronicle it was
an ‘enormous honour’
and he was ‘delighted’.
He and Prince Charles
shared a joke as the honour was bestowed. The
pair have met three times
previously, including when
His Royal Highness visited
Barnsley in January.
“He told me he’d enjoyed
his trip to Barnsley, and
he’d enjoyed going
through the Barnsley
Chronicle and seeing my
statue.
“He said Barnsley’s hospitality had been wonderful.”

BRAVE TOT MAY NEED OP

BRAVE Ebonie Webb may
need another operation before she can go to America
for life-saving treatment.
The four-year-old finished
chemotherapy three weeks ago
but a scan on May 14 revealed the
brain tumour is growing.
Doctors at Sheffield Children’s

LEELA HAS A BALL READING THE CHRONICLE
BY ADAM CIVICO
LEELA the one-eyed hamster loves a good read —
the Barnsley Chronicle.

Pet project: Leela reading.

She was born with an eye missing and an underdeveloped ear, but that does not stop her living life to the full.
And she keeps up to date with the news. Her news reading antics are even a hit on the internet after owner
Sandra Davies posted a video on YouTube.
She said: “I always sit on the floor to read the Chronicle.
“I put her in the play ball and she keeps rolling across it
driving me crackers.”
Sandra, 46, of Beech Street, Barnsley, adopted Leela in
March after spotting her at a pet shop. The rest of the litter had been bought but nobody wanted her.
She said: “She looked sorry for herself just pottering
around. I thought, ‘we’ve got to have her’ and came back
with her.
“She copes fine considering she has no depth perception.”
Leela even keeps four cats at bay.
Sandra said: “We have to keep an eye on them but when
she’s in the play ball they just run away.”

Precious pet: Ellen Davies with Leela.

Changes to the
Olympic torch
route after ‘recce’
BY ADAM CIVICO
POLICE and council officers walked the
Barnsley part of the Olympic torch route
on May 14.
They were doing a ‘recce’ to establish good
viewing points and to see where groups of
schoolchildren could stand to get a good view.
It is hoped schools, clubs and groups will line
the route to celebrate the day.
There will be street athletics in the town centre.
The flame comes to Barnsley on Monday, June
25, and will be carried through the town by 19
torch bearers including residents Dave Allemby,
Hayley Youell and Ray Taylor. Former Olympian
Dorothy Hyman will start the journey through
Barnsley at Pontefract Road, Lundwood.
The route has been changed and will no longer
include County Way and Old Mill Lane.
The revised route will be: 1.25pm, arrive at
Pontefract Road, Lundwood; Cundy Cross roundabout, 1.44pm; Grove Street junction with
Pontefract Road, 1.48pm; Town hall, 1.58pm via
Kendray Street, Eldon Street and Market Hill;
Barnsley College, 2pm departing at 3pm;
Huddersfield Road junction with Rowland Road,
3.18pm; Barnsley Road, 3.21pm; Churchfield
Lane, 3.31pm; leave the borough, 3.46pm.

FEARS OVER HOUSING BENEFIT ABUSE
LANDLORDS say too
little is being done to
tackle what they say
is ‘housing benefit
abuse’.
Jeremy Milnes and Kerry
Haycock, of GoMove
estate agency, let their
own and other landlords’
houses across the borough
and say there is a growing
problem of tenants being
paid housing benefit but
not paying it to their landlords.
“They’re going into
arrears, even though we
know they are getting the

housing benefit,” said
Kerry. “After eight weeks
we can apply to have the
benefit paid directly to us,
but that still leaves the
eight-week shortfall. We
represent landlords who
often have mortgages to
pay.”
Mr Milnes added: “There
is a very large risk that
landlords will start to pull
out of Barnsley, and that
could create severe problems for housing supply.
We’ve written to the council’s chief executive, the
head of housing, and

elected councillors, and so
far nobody has come back
to us. We just think it’s
wrong. This is taxpayers’
money and people seem
to think they can spend it
on whatever they want.”
Michael Jubb, of Jubb
and Co Property
Management, said there
was a growing minority of
people abusing the sys-

tem. They should pay the
benefits to the landlord,
but they don’t, they pay it
to the scum bag who
spends it on his drugs, or
a new TV, or whatever.
“The majority of our
houses are quality homes
where people pay their
rent. We haven’t let a benefits-only property for 18
months now because of all

the trouble.”
He said if a switch was
made to paying housing
benefits directly to the
landlord, he would consider moving back into that
market.
The council declined to
comment, other than to
confirm it had received
GoMove’s letter.

CLEVER MUM SOLDIERS ON WITH WOOLLY ARMY
BY KATE PICKLES
A SOLDIER’S mum has knitted an
army of men to raise money for
Help for Heroes.
Sheila Hanson, whose son Paul Barrett,
25, is serving with the 3rd Battalion, The
Yorkshire Regiment, knitted her first soldier as a decoration for the Christmas
tree.
But word has spread and led to orders
flooding in for the woolly characters.
“I have made 80 of them so far this year
and I’ve got more orders. I can’t make
enough,” said Sheila, 61.
“It’s surprising how many people have

them when it’s just spread by word of
mouth. I can make about one a night.
Whenever I go out I’m checking out the
wool shops. I like to make sandy coloured
soldiers as Paul is serving in Afghanistan.”
Cleaner Sheila, of Cliffedale Crescent,
Worsbrough Dale, said she wanted to support the soldiers while Paul was taking
part in his second tour of Afghanistan.
She has helped organise a charity night
with music, an auction and raffles at
Gilroyd Club on May 26.
“Help for Heroes is a great charity as I
feel for all of the soldiers who have anything happen to them. I want to do as
much as I can to help.”

YOGI AND PALS
FIGHT TO SAVE
WILTHORPE PUB
BY ADAM CIVICO
ABOUT 450 people have signed a
petition objecting to plans to convert the Wilthorpe pub into a supermarket.
Publicans Michael and Tina Farnsworth
are leaving the pub next month after 18
months in charge.
The owners of the nearby Yogi Convenience Store, Huddersfield Road, are
Ashish and Priti Patel.
They have been told unofficially by surveyors a supermarket — believed to be
Tesco — are taking over.
They have formed Wilthorpe Against

Supermarket Planning and have started
the petition.
Premier Inn receptionist Tracy Fisher, 27,
of Wilthorpe Crescent, has signed it.
She said: “The shop has been here
‘forever’ and the pub has been our pub
‘forever’. It fits with our little area.”
Ashish fears he will lose up to 40 per cent
of his trade and have to lay off the locals
he employs. Michael, 43, said: “It’s sad
because it is a community pub.”
The Wilthorpe’s owners, Enterprise Inns
said they were ‘reviewing all options’.
Tesco was unable to confirm if it was interested in the site.
